Been on a rimfire kick

I am on such a rimfire kick, that I even love to convert centerfire guns to it!

Among my humble accumulation of firearms is a decent amount of .22 l.r. guns, some can be considered higher end. Among those there are some that are outstanding, some are rare, all are well made but the one that has been in the range bag constantly in the last months is an old love rekindled. The FN, Herstal International Medalist 150. It is as reliable and accurate as any gun can get.

I agree. In my well over 50 years of shooting, a hundred or so guns owned, and two or three hundred different guns I've shot, the FN 150/International Medalist (with its original factory style grip as shown in your photo and the top center gun in my photo up above) is at or near the top in most outstanding. Another interesting thing is that everyone (friends and family) whom I've been able to allow to shoot it has out-shot their own handguns with it. But it's not just reliable and accurate, it's an admirable piece of craftsmanship. And a perfectly good shooter-grade version is relatively cheap.

I love .22s!

I have:

A Colt Woodsman, made in 1938 -- the most accurate pistol I've ever shot
A Colt Officer's Model Target.
An Argentine M1927 (basically an M1911A1 made in Argentina on Colt machinery under Colt supervision.) This gun presently wears a Colt Conversion kit with the floating chamber.
A Ruger MKII heavy barrel

I also have:

A Kimber M82
A Ruger M7722M
A Stevens Favorite (with a tang sight)
A M1922 Springfield MK II
A Remington M541X (DCM rifle)

And I know the secret to happiness -- have a bunch of .22s, a quarter section of wooded land in the Ozarks, and at least 4 cases (20,000 rounds) of .22 LR.

Quoted for truth, right there.

Thank you all.

I was reviewing my inventory and wondering if I can justify having all those .22s. Now I can!

If you think you have too many, you can send the extras to me.

Too many rimfires is a null set. They are nothing but fun.

I agree, they are probably the most "universal" of guns. Even in a very restrictive place like the UK.
